MODERATED LIVE WEBCAST: Cyber Extortion: What Are the Laws That Protect Against It and How Should Lawyers Respond?

Description: While extortion is not a new concept, in the digital world, it is taking on a new dimension. Individuals, companies, organized crime, and even terrorist groups are increasingly threatening cyber-attacks, public disclosure of personal information, or reporting security vulnerabilities to regulators if companies do not accede to their demands. Join Bryan Cave LLP’s Mary Beth Buchanan and David Zetoony as they:
· discuss different types of cyber-extortion,
· describe the interaction between criminal laws preventing extortion and the data security laws, and
· provide practical advice on how lawyers should respond to cyber-extortion demands.
